In this (virtual) book club, we will meet to discuss Dr. Harriet Schwartz’s book Connected Teaching. Echoing the Lasallian tradition, this book explores teaching as a relational practice – a practice wherein connection and disconnection with students, power, identity, and emotion shape the teaching and learning endeavor. The author describes moments of energetic deep learning and what makes these powerful moments happen. She calls on readers to be open to and seek relationship, understand their own socio-cultural identity (and how this shapes internal experience and the ways in which they are met in the world), and vigilantly explore and recognize emotion in the teaching endeavor.

We have a limited budget for physical copies of the book, but Saint Mary’s Fitzgerald Library has a license for unlimited copies of the book! You can read it electronically here at this link.
